Avengers, TDKR Among 2012's Most Scientifically Bogus Films Biggest hits among year's "most science-distorting movies."

Some of the most popular genre films of the year have also been cited by science buffs as the "most science-distorting movies" of 2012.

According to PopSci, the year's seven worst offenders are as follows, from the mildest violations to the most severe:

1. The Amazing Spider-Man for "blatant disregard for the conservation of mass."
2. Looper, because backward time travel is impossible.
3. Skyfall, for some of Q's computer hacking and for Bond's amazing ability to endure freezing water as long as he does.
4. The Avengers. One word: Helicarrier!
5. The Dark Knight Rises, for every spoilerish thing from the ending as well as Batman's spinal recuperative skills.
6. Total Recall's "gravity elevator" that allows workers to travel through the center of the planet.
7. Prometheus is deemed the most egregious violator of science ... for pretty much everything in it.
